February 2004 Awards

Two $1,000 Culinary Grants were awarded on January 31, 2004.

Many applications and essays were received and reviewed for the stated qualifications. Four finalists were selected. A selected group of qualified Chefs reviewed their posts, read their essays and then select the two recipients.

All four of the finalists were deserving and the decision was a very hard one to make. After two weeks of reviews and more reviews, the two culinary grant recipients were selected. The Recipients are:

Shurry Sue Rollo, attending The California  Culinary Academy, San Francisco, CA.

Ronald Zabler, attending The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago, IL.
